I could give you some contemporaries but contemporary philosophers do tend to be extremely narrow in their context. Rather than the broad strokes about a particular metaethical theory, they'll needle in on a single aspect of a single metaethical theory. Shelley Kagan is probably one of my favorite contemporary realists - focuses on moral dessert and how it routinely (and predictably!) modifies our moral conclusions.
Cool. I haven't listened/read to much Kagan. Maybe that's the key area of difference that has led to our differing views about nihilism and absurdism.
